"Only [Hailey Baldwin] can look so FINE she makes [Shawn Mendes] (who is also serving looks) look like his only purpose is to be a bodyguard and walk around her," wrote one zealous fan of the supposed twosome. "I am in love with her dress, hair, I just love her uhg. #MetGala2018"

Still, the "Lost in Japan" musician maintains that the Met Gala appearance was all planned out in fun and in Baldwin's favor.

“It’s funny, she’s such a pro with this type of stuff," Mendes explained. "I want it to be amazing for her, so I’ve been trying for the past 24 hours to be really silly so that she stays on. I’m happy to walk with her—she’s amazing.”
